A verb is needed to fill the blank, and the noun chien ("dog") is its subject. The object is chaussure ("shoe"). This context shows that mâchait ("was chewing on") is the option that fits best. (C) is the correct answer. (A) laçait ("was lacing up"), (B) mettait ("was putting on"), and (D) cirait ("was polishing") all describe actions that cannot be performed by dogs.
